Linkages with other government agencies, both local and national, and nongovernment organizations, including the private sector, were given much attention to have an easy means of marketing their products. The Panay State Polytechnic College at Mambusao, Capiz, is helping the association in terms of its agricultural needs. The Northern Iloilo State Polytechnic College provided guayabano and passion fruit seedlings as contract growers in close coordination with the Atlas Agribusiness Fruit Corporation. The Dingle Agricultural and Technical College assured the association of extending to it DATEC's sericulture and moriculture technology.
Given the opportunity, both the implementing agency and the association hope to establish more linkages, especially with the Department of Public Works and Highways in the establishment of farm-to-market roads to provide an easy means of transport. This will reduce damages in marketing of their products. With coordinated efforts, the DENR-ERDB, Region VI, set "A New Direction for Agroforestry Research and Development through Women Participation" for a self-reliant and self-sufficient Upland Community.
